All I Want For Christmas

I want my very own Art O Mat

Red would be nice

All stocked up

And a Photo Booth would be good too.
Dear Santa
I've been very good
so please keep this in mind.

I'd also like a typewriter.

If I don't get what I wished for, at least I know I can go over to Rayko Gallery in San Francisco and play with their toys.And, I have been buying a few postal presents for myself.More about those later.

I have never seen an Art O Mat, though I've read of others' experiences, and once played with one via surrogate in Western Massachusetts. My surrogate wrote me a one word description of my choices, I picked and pretended to pull the knob, and she sent me the art. It was wonderful. All I'd like for Giftmas is to be able to see an Art O Mat in person.

Isn't the Art-O-Mat super fab? During the teaching semester, I usually walk my book arts students over to Rayko and extol the virtues of "democratic multiples". It's part of a larger "DIY with what you have" lesson...--JH

Pamela,I would really like a photo booth too. I'm sure there's room for one here somewhere in the house...maybe in the living room. Oh, I just looked online and it appears that the nice ones start at $7,500 and go up to $11,000. Hard to justify that, but I do like the idea of renting one for parties.
